Product description & features

The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT 2 has been developed to deliver enhanced corner grip, combined with shorter braking distances and noticeable steering precision.

The tyre features an asymmetric tread design to improve handling and ensure high levels of aquaplaning resistance. The tyre's tread pattern also features a continuous central rib throughout the tyre. This works to increase reliability, especially on long journeys.

Dunlop have worked hard on the tread design to ensure that the Sport Maxx RT 2 boasts a flatter profile - this creates a bigger contact with the road surface, delivering stability and responsive road feedback.

Sport Maxx RT 2 tyres are available in 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 inch, and 20 inch rim tyre sizes.

Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 Awards & Recognition

The tyres are fine and perform as labelling scores but they have not worn well. I do about 6k miles a year and I will need to replace these tyres soon, they were only fitted in January this year!! They have not lasted as expected from a good make of tyre. I will not be purchasing Dunlop tyres again.
